GENERAL INFORMATION

Machine identification information is printed on the data plate on the rear of the machine (see
Figures 1 and 2). Overall machine dimensions:
Height:
Depth:
Like any equipment with moving parts, the machine inevitably produces noise. The
construction system, paneling, and special provisions adopted by the Manufacturer are such
that during work the average noise level of the machine is not in excess of 70 dB (A).

END-OF-LIFE

The symbol on the right indicates that in accordance with Directive 2002/96/EC the
machine may not be disposed of as ordinary municipal waste but must be
delivered to a specialized center for separation and disposal of WEEE (Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment) or be returned to the dealer in case of
purchase of a new machine. Current legislation provides severe sanctions in the
case of disposal of WEEE into the environment. If improperly used or disposed of into the
environment, electrical and electronic equipment can release substances dangerous for the
environment and for human health.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

The machine uses an electronics card containing a Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery (ref.:
bt, see Fig.12). When discharged, it must be removed by expert personnel trained in machine
demolition.

SAFETY RULES

The MACHINE is designed for use in recovering the R134a refrigerant fluid used in the air-
conditioning (A/C) systems of motor vehicles. The MACHINE is designed to be used by
qualified personnel only; moreover, it can be used correctly only if the operator has read this
manual and is aware of the basic safety information contained in this manual, including the
following. Wear protective gloves and goggles. Do not expose the machine to direct sunlight or
rain. Use only in well-ventilated work areas. Before performing any operation, check the vehicle
use and maintenance manual for the type of refrigerant fluid used by the A/C system. Do not
smoke in proximity to the machine while it is in operation.
Do not use the MACHINE in proximity to sources of heat, open flames, or sparks. Check
whenever the engine is turned off that the ignition key is turned to the full OFF position. Always
close all the valves on the MACHINE before connecting it to the A/C system of the vehicle.
Connect only the machine hose supplied with the RED quick-connect coupling to the high-
pressure branch of the A/C system. Connect only the machine hose supplied with the BLUE
quick-connect coupling to the low-pressure branch of the A/C system. Keep the connection
hoses away from moving parts and rotating elements such as cooling fans, alternators, etc.
Keep the connection hoses away from hot objects and elements such as engine exhaust
pipes, radiators, etc. Fill the A/C system only with the quantity of refrigerant recommended by
the manufacturer. Never exceed said quantity. Check the oil levels at the beginning of each
operation. Always top up with the correct quantity of oil. Before connecting the MACHINE to the
electrical supply, check that voltage and frequency match the values shown into the CE label.
Never fill the bottle to more than 80% of maximum capacity in order to leave an
expansion chamber for absorbing any pressure increases.
Never touch the valves on the refrigerant bottle installed on-board the MACHINE. Dispose of
the oil extracted from the A/C system and from the vacuum pump in suitable containers for
used oils. Replace the filters punctually at the prescribed replacement times. Use only filters
